1000 SERIES

1000 series aluminum alloys have excellent appearance, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, metal bending, forming, and drawing characteristics.

Used in the production of satellite dishes, automotive, food utensils/equipment, lighting industry, heating and/or air conditioning cabinetry, building and construction. Basic Metals is a leading supplier of aluminum circles to the metal spinning industry.

3000 SERIES

3000 series aluminum alloys are great for visual end uses, corrosion resistant. Forms well, and deep drawing characteristics, brazes and welds, in some metal fabrication applications can be a substitute for other more expensive alloys.

Used in the production of appliances, recreational vehicles, architectural applications, fan blades, vents, hinges and other hardware, lighting applications, aluminum sign blanks, pots and pans, roofing, rain ware and soffits.

5000 SERIES 

5000 series aluminum alloys are a high strength, multi-use alloy that has good metal bending characteristics, uniform appearance, bendability, and versatility.

Used in a variety of applications this alloy works well for lighting, automotive, truck trailer, recreational vehicles, structural applications, flooring, aluminum signs, tanks, and general distribution.

6000 SERIES 

6000 series aluminum alloys are higher in strength, dent resistance and weld-able the T-tempered alloys are used for forgings, railroad cars, aerospace, automotive, truck and marine frames, and pipelines.

Extruded applications are used in architectural and structural applications including geodesic domes.
